Ppl do not like imagining a fall from being perfect yet they strive for it everyday in their behaviour. Even our clothes we wear reflect our sense of striving for perfection in how ppl perceive us. Observe how after the prayer at the start he removes a bit of fluff from his suit. Just a casual hand gesture. But why do ppl in general feel our clothes represent what we ourselves represent? Is it just an insecurity, a deception, a belief they can only control the suit or whatever they have on? The clothes we wear have replaced ourselves. We are just the valueless commodity. We have morphed ourselves into our clothes replacing the need to deal with our lack of perfectness.
@@ncsnewcanaan9907 LOL! I have external speakers to boost the volume, and I still have trouble hearing what he's saying. Is there any chance that you could increase Wright's volume?
NOT pagan, but Rabbinic. The Shekhinah is the English transliteration of a Hebrew word meaning "dwelling" or "settling" and denotes the dwelling or settling of the divine presence of God. This term does not occur in the Bible, and is from rabbinic literature.
I’m trying to save this but can’t seem to. This is so awesome. I love N T Wright and his talks and his books.
Wonderful teaching
As always, Tom Wright is on top of his understanding of the Bible! More Americans need to pay close attention to his amazing books!

it's a really bad move to make the intro twice as loud as the speaker -- really bad
Couldn't agree more, which is why we opted instead to make the speaker 1/2 the volume of the intro.

Why does he use a non-biblical word shekinah when the biblical word for God's glory is kabod? Is that not importing a pagan god into Christianity?
anselman what are you talking about? It is used repeatedly in the Bible.
@@BenPearsall Where?
@@BenPearsall The word is not in the Hebrew Bible. It is used in non-Biblical occult tradition as a name for a female goddess.

Yes, I think your right. Modern day Jews use the word Shekinah when performing their Kabbalah rituals.
